Sixteen-year-old Rosalie Bennett, a high school Junior, learns that her illness is a case of pregnancy. Jack Weaver, her boyfriend, becomes hostile and demands that Rosie get rid of her problem. Her parents feel the same way! But Rosie feels differently, yet she can't explain why.

However, a few people stand-by her. Thelma Feldman, her neighbor, finds hope in the situation and helps Rosie during this challenging time. Aisha Summers, a classmate, doesn't like the way people are treating Rosie, and Brad Underwood, Rosie's boss at the cinema, would like to become a closer friend. Rosie learns that no matter which decision she makes, her life will never be the same, she will live with this choice forever.
